"I'm a computer science student living in Dumfries, Scotland. Ever since I started using GNU/Linux as my main operating system in 2007, I've been advocating free software to my close friends and family. I wanted to show my support to the Free Software Foundation by becoming a member."

"I've long been a supporter of the ideas of the FSF and the whole free software movement. Today, I wanted to make a tangible contribution to the FSF, as well as openly declaring my support for the key advocate and defender of software freedom."
